Worlds best lock - Etzebeth boost for Boks ahead of France Test

Rooi, in my Western Cape Platteland Stofdorp school, in Std6, I was inside the shortest 10 out of 104...4 years later I was within the tallest 10 of my agegroup...no roids, plain and simple genetics...Now, I've said it before...and you did not believe me then either.. The Etzebeths are renowned in Cape Town for a reason. They are naturally superior athletes. I've met a couple of his cousins and although they are shorter, they all seem to be physical freaks of nature....They are all like that and none of the others does pro sport. His uncle was a world champion wrestler at age 60. I know you don't like it, but Eben is in a league of his own...your petty envious BS doesn't change that. So either submit proof of your petty allegations o r STFU.

Draad guys like Eben terrify poor rooi twit even though they are not even threatening the poor oak!

Per Moz - And ffs if one of our players wants to show a bit of combativeness in a man's game, what's wrong with that?

Rooitwit is not a competitive type hence his dislike of Eben. its easier to be a loser!

BTW, he was playing wing at school, so there was no need to bulk up that much. Just because you don't understand something does not make it suspect ..You seem to want there to be something faul afoot...hate much?

Beenz, they like to play the "roid rage" card too, but I have yet to see one example of Eben taking a cheap shot at another player. Controlled aggression to a T, but some can't see past their bias 

Eben is a competitor, a warrior. Be ta males can't comprehend what that is. 

Going by that title I thought he was either going to ask Brodie Retallick for help or else find some sort of easily hidden pocket step ladder.

Good one JW c!

 Gee wizz Moz not many of us would get the Garbo reference ,being a golden age of hollywood fan helps [ reading David Nivens : the moons a balloon " and " Bring on the empty horses " as a 14 year old got me into that ]

Not that uppity girl so beloved of David .O.Selznik ? Why whatever shall become of Tara ?

Think I will cut up the curtains and make meself a nice suit ,or ballgown as befits the times we live in.

The World's best second row forward isn't even up for discussion.

With some of the bullshit written here - It makes me wonder about the South African knowledge of the game.

it is a good idea to analysis things for what they actually are - Not what you want them to be.

Alot of comments on here are made purely because it is sour grapes about another country.

And that country pisses off South Africans so damn much doesn't it Beeno - So much so that you cannot get over it - Every comment you make about that countries rugby is very, very negative - So much so that you are disturbed by it - Very Depressed I would say by reading your comments about them.

Moz I hear tell Scarlett was rather put off by Rhetts bad breath and ill fitting dentures ,not that he gave a damn the wee Yankee carpet bagger .

I would refute your assertion that South Africans know nothing about the game, but you are working against me Clean Cut! Also, you need to see Walt Heyer about your gender identity crisis. 

Still think it's Herr Drache?...maybe rather Herr der Drachen ?

Good form Herr Draht! 

I think Whatyouthink that you  are interested in real rugby issues and not the partisan drivel so many of our members specialize in,

Keep it up - I like the looks of your comments.    

???

I think if someone is going to talk to h imself, do it in the same thread.
